What succeeds we keep, and it becomes the habit of mankind.

[America is] a rebellious nation. Our whole history is treason; our blood was attained before we were born; our creeds were infidelity to the mother church; our constitution treason to our fatherland.

Love of truth will bless the lover all his days; yet when he brings her home, his fair-faced bride, she comes empty-handed to his door, herself her only dower.

Greatness is its own torment.

Marriages are best made of dissimilar material.

What succeeds we keep, and it becomes the habit of mankind.

I am conscious of eternal life.
